What is LIFE TEEN?

LIFE TEEN is nothing like any other teen program you may have experienced before. This is not your parents' CCD or CYO program! LIFE TEEN is a Roman Catholic teen ministry program that tries to lead teens to Christ through a dynamic weekly Mass and LIFE Night: a fun-filled, high energy evening that reaches teens on four levels: spiritual, emotional, social, and educational.

Who is LIFE TEEN for?

LIFE TEEN is designed for teens, or at least the young at heart. Everyone, young and old alike, is always welcome to come to Mass. Teens, bring your little sisters and brothers, your parents, even your grandparents. But especially bring your teen friends: Catholics and non-Catholics too. All are welcome. But remember, LIFE Night, which follows Mass, is a "teen-only" event.

What is a LIFE TEEN MASS?

At the weekly Life Teen Mass, teens and their families experience the depths of God's love through the Word, the community, and the Eucharist. Relevant preaching and quality music bring the Catholic Mass to life.

Mass is planned by teenagers with teenagers in mind: music that touches you, with sounds that you know: keyboard, drums, electric guitars, flute, tambourine, and harmonica! The homilies deal with topics teenagers need to hear about: relationships, drugs, suicide, peer pressure, the difficulty of balancing friends, family, work, and school, and what the Gospel has to say about all these things... Imagine a church with teenagers singing and praising God, clapping and moving along to the music, and taking part in the great gift of the Eucharist.



What is LIFE NIGHT?

LIFE Night is a 2 hour evening, from 7:00-9:00pm, filled with laughs, skits, upbeat music, free food, and opportunities to discuss, learn, and pray with other teenagers who are trying to make sense of their lives, just like you are.

Following the Life Teen Mass, trained youth ministers and CORE members lead the teens deeper into their Catholic faith in the LIFE Night experience. As a faith community, the teens grow in understanding of what it means to be young and Catholic in the new millennium. The teens are affirmed, educated, and challenged to live the Gospel.


WHEN AND WHERE DOES LIMA LIFE TEEN MEET?
That's easy. Every Sunday, except Holiday weekends, at 6:00 PM at St. Charles Catholic Church, 2200 West Elm St. Lima, Ohio (Go to "Contact Us" page for a map to the church).  Life Nights begin right after Mass around 7 p.m. until 9 p.m. in the St. Charles Church basement.
